Lovely, cozy cottage with absolutely everything you might need. We had a great time and our host, Charles, was wonderful. He communicated with us proactively and was so helpful when we got “stuck” in Savannah for an extra day (weather). Walkable to several attractions and restaurants!

Best Location!
The Captains Cottage is just a short walk to the Riverfront's party life, yet distant enough to enjoy quiet time also. We thoroughly enjoy our time at this retreat. The owners are gracious and welcoming- defining southern hospitality! The furnishings are comfortable, the beds were comfortable. The lighting is divine. I would highly recommend this rental - Five Stars!

Great location! Near many shops, restaurants, squares/parks and river in the historic district. Captain’s Cottage is notably popular. The hosts are wonderful and we plan to stay again longer next time. Suggest that if you stay at this location for more than a weekend, get a parking pass at the Bryan Street parking garage. Easy and allows you to sleep in when meters are in affect 8 am-8 pm.

We had a great time at this property. The house location is easily walkable to the River and to Broughton. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The house is exactly as described with perfect amenities (including coffee, filters, plenty of kitchen, bath, and laundry supplies). Our host was extremely friendly and responsive. We had a minor issue that was beyond his control and he addressed it immediately. Great experience!

The Captain's Cottage was very clean, and had ample room for the 4 of us. Quick response from owner. Lots of basic supplies included for cooking & laundry. A box of tissues would have been nice but not a deal breaker. We'd stay here again..

The home was so comfortable, to enjoy the game in the living area, make anything in a well done, and fully automated kitchen. The beds were very comfortable inside bedrooms that were large and charming. Master bathroom was superb and hall bathroom was very accommodating.Hopefully, we will be back.

The house is decorated to match the historical area. Very clean and comfy. It's in a quiet location and is conveniently close to many things. You must try the Pirate House, conveniently located across the street. The parking available is not free which we didnt see in the bookong detail, but its cheap, free at nught abd Sundays so was not an issue.
